Indeed, the very first incarnation of Harley could even intimidate him when she was angry, although later incarnations are often submissive and put up with his abuse out of a misplaced sense of loyalty.Įven though she keeps an enthusiastic and crazed demeanor, deep down she is secretly tormented and tragic as she is often depicted as a victim of physical, verbal and mental abuse, eroding her sanity and resulting in a sociopathic madwoman.

In addition to being a skilled manipulator, she's prone to explosive fits of rage and has a violent streak that almost rivals that of the Joker himself. Her training as a psychiatrist gives her a knack for getting into people's heads. However, she is much more intelligent than she lets on, often causing friend and foe alike to underestimate her in the Mad Love storyline, she came closer to killing Batman than the Joker ever did and some incarnations even have a genius-level IQ, despite her insanity. Despite being a psychiatrist, Harley is often portrayed as rather dimwitted socially and logically, as she tends to fail to notice obvious problems or overthinks minor issues.

In most incarnations, she is loyal to the Joker regardless of how cruelly he treats her. Harley Quinn is an eccentric and extravagant supervillainess who usually commits crimes with sadistic glee and hyperactive energy.
